If you’re new to the world of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), you might wonder: What is Miglyol 812, CAS: 37332-31-3 , and why is it so widely used?
Miglyol 812, CAS: 37332-31-3 is a refined medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil derived from coconut and palm kernel oils. Its main components are caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10)—two medium-chain fatty acids that make up over 99% of its composition. Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) in common oils, Miglyol 812, CAS: 37332-31-3 has a shorter molecular structure, which brings unique benefits.
First, it’s highly stable. It resists breakdown under high temperatures (up to 200°C) and light, making it ideal for products that need a long shelf life. Second, it’s gentle: pH-neutral and non-irritating to skin and mucous membranes.
Whether you’re in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or food production, understanding Miglyol 812, CAS: 37332-31-3’s basics is the first step to using this versatile ingredient. For more details, please reach out FandaChem.
